Thanks for info. Yes I totally understand what you are saying.  Sometimes I feel like the technology in the rubber is playing the game and not me, because I am making shots that I have no right to make given my technique. Smile I might set myself up a racket with the Chinese rubber you recommend just to see what it feels like. Thanks again.

Rich

One Chinese Rubber that needs no adulteration (though it is a bit exepnsive) is Juic 999 Turbo.  The 999 topsheet is always greatand the turbo sponge while hard is fast.  Not as quick as those European things for away from the table game, but if you like to swing at the ball, you will love this rubber.

I like Coles' setup.

It's fast and still easy to control.
I "just" have to learn to serve better and give some spin now...

Thanks again for your advice :)
